I'm not surprised by it one bit. There have also been numerous complaints made to USAG about abusive coaching tactics of certain coaches that fall into the mental and tipping on the physical realm (throwing mats and pit blocks at a kids head files under the abuse category to me) and USAG ignores it. It's almost like they believe that they are above the law or repercussions of abuse of any kind. No abuse, whether sexual, physical or mental should be a tolerated practice technique in any sport, ever. It really bothers me that in any other area an abuser would be immediately removed from practicing, can you imagine a teacher behaving this way and not be in trouble? I think that it's time that the public demand better practices out of USAG in order to protect our children from these wide spread and clearly acceptable abusive techniques. We must remember that gymnastics is a leisure activity for kids and should be fun and enjoyable. I hope that something major is forced on them to make them wake the heck up.
